The Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI) supports comparative clinical effectiveness research that provides high-quality evidence to guide informed healthcare decisions. One of the unique aspects of PCORI-funded projects is their engagement of patients and other stakeholders—including caregivers, clinicians, insurers, training institutions, and hospitals and health systems—in all stages of the healthcare research process. PCORI has developed the Engagement Rubric, an activity-based guide for involving patients and stakeholders in planning, conducting, and disseminating comparative clinical effectiveness research. This interactive course features expert interviews and reflective exercises for applying the Engagement Rubric’s principles and activities in practice. Participants can adapt learning to projects involving research, quality improvement, clinical decision-making, and workflow processes in various healthcare settings.

Wound care is one of the most rapidly evolving fields in medicine. Through case presentations involving photographs of wound care throughout the course of treatment, health care professionals can apply new knowledge to clinical practice with a goal to improve outcomes of wound care management.
